From the American Cancer Society:
The numbers below come from the National Cancer Institute’s SEER database, looking at people diagnosed with rectal cancer between 2004 and 2010.
For people with stage IIA rectal cancer, the 5-year relative survival rate is about 81%. For stage IIB cancer, the survival rate is about 50%.
The 5-year relative survival rate for stage IIIA rectal cancers is about 83%. For stage IIIB cancers the survival rate is about 72%, and for stage IIIC cancers the survival rate is about 58%.
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/colon-rec ... rates.htmlThese numbers are pretty old and I believe that numbers are better today than they were back in 2010 because of treatment improvements via the use of big data and better understanding of cancer.
